Aberrant left pulmonary artery.

An aberrant left pulmonary artery, a surgically correctable anomaly, is often not thought of in the differential diagnosis of respiratory obstruction in infancy. We have discovered 35 previously reported cases (Lochard, Vert, and Chalnot, 1963; Pontius, 1963; Heinemann, 1964; Neimann et al., 1964; Murphy et al., 1964; Hu Chih-Hsiang, 1964). We report two further cases-one patient diagnosed during life and operated upon, but who died post-operatively, and the other recognized at
